(AP) -- Auburn coach Gene Chizik opens up about his messy departure from Iowa State in a new book.
The former Cyclones coach compares his feelings about interviewing with the Tigers to cheating on a spouse.
Chizik also reveals in "All In: What it Takes to be the Best," a book set to be released in July, that he withdrew his name from consideration shortly after his first interview with Auburn in 2008.
Chizik was later stunned when he was offered his "dream job" at Auburn later that day.
Chizik says that while accepting the Tigers job was a "no-brainer" for his career, leaving Iowa State was agonizing for personal reasons.
Chizik also says he wishes Cyclones athletic director Jamie Pollard had handled his departure differently.
